Class Prophecy The following items are a brief summary of important news events in 1962, ten years since the DeMotte Indians of ’52 graduated. Critics raved about paintings drawn by Joan Scott and Doris Coberly, which are to be hung in the Metropolitan Art Gallery. One critic said, “Since we can’t find the artists, we’ll hang their paintings.” Fred Boissy was re-elected by a landslide to his position of assistant to the assistants’ assistant dog catcher while I was elected governor. Janet Hammerton and Carol Thornton have enrolled in the Society for the Prevention of Old Maids, a prominent social organization. Doctor Skeeter” Wright and nurse Judith Kingma discovered a new miracle drug used for the cure and prevention of ingrown toenails. Two secretaries, Anna Mae Belstra and Joann Kaper, at the Hand-in- Lap Insurance Agency have received a large inheritance from distant relatives who lived in San Francisco. Barbara Bennema’s search for a fellow missionary in the jungles of Africa was climaxed when she found her in a native village. Her first words were, Miss Terborg, I presume.” The noted speed demon Bob Hunter has won the stock car race again at Indianapolis. This makes the fifth consecutive year he has won that event. Harold Kingma received a Bachelor of Arts degree in the exacting art of ditch digging, the only degree of its kind ever given. Coach DeYoung is slightly irritable after his basketball team lost to Coach Duggins’ speedy five 103 to 0, for the 501 consecutive game. Prosperous undertakers Marvin Terpstra and Eddie White startled the Undertakers Union with their new lay away plan and with the invention of an adjustable coffin, which accommodates all size bodies. They’re so busy they ask you to order your coffin a year in advance. Harold Jabaay is the new television comic whose antics have brought him international fame. Joyce Jabaay has received the Noble Award in science for the discovery of a process of isolating sugar from coffee. Paul Kaluf and Mahlon Grevenstuk have opened a new restaurant on the Main Street of DeMotte, called the Gravy.” Carol Jo Hart and Joyce Hamstra have recently returned from Europe where they toured all countries there. They will begin teaching again at DeMotte College in a short while. This has been a brief hopscotch of headlines in 1962. By Ed Totten

Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1952, though failing in mental ability, can still remember a few of our good and bad times, which we do hereby will, with the remainder of our estate, to our, probably ungrateful, underclassmen. Anna Mae Belstra, in a generous state of mind, wills her long blond hair to Wilma Hoffman. It looks like some changes will have to be made. Fred Boissy, in a moronic state of mind, wills his perfectly good seat in the study hall to Stanley Krucek. We hope you get more use out of it than he did. Barbara Bennema, in a careless state of mind, wills her driving ability to Pat Corbet. We bet you won’t be able to get a driver’s license. Doris Coberly, in an exhausted state of mind, wills all her nights spent at school to Joyce Dug- gins. May she also recommend a rest home. Boger DeYoung, in a carefree state of mind, wills his athletic ability to John DeKock. We wish you the best of luck with vour new assignment. Estill Duggins, in an intelligent state of mind, wills his report card and his penmanship to Leonard Swart. You may need an interpreter if you carry the penmanship through. Mahlon Grevenstuk, in a thoughtful state of mind, wills his height to Frank Cross. Have you ever tried Hadacol? Janet Hammerton, in a reluctant state of mind, wills her position as Editor of the Annual to Laura Mae Evers. We hope you have as much success as she had. Joyce Hamstra, in a regretful state of mind, wills all the good times she had at DeMotte, to Shirley Wiers. We hope you enjoy them. Carol Hart, in a self-conscience state of mind, wills all her vice-president positions to Lillian King- ma. You are really going to be busy. Bob Hunter, in a sympathetic state of mind, wills his way with girls to John Tomczak. You can take the course in 10 easy lessons. Harold Jabaay, in a generous state of mind, wills his government book to Don Ptacek. We hope you get something out of it. Joyce Jabaay, in a genial state of mind, wills her personality and her ability to skip school without getting caught to Dorothy Wilke. Paul Kaluf, in a flashy state of mind, wills his ability to argue to Nancy Knynsberg. Don’t be too hard on your classmates. Joann Kaper, in a rather dubious state of mind, wills her ability to skip school without getting caught and her debate notes to Janice Hoffman. Hope you do better than she did. Harold Kingma, in a reckless state of mind, wills his Ford and his cheerful personality to Jack Hixon. You’d better junk your ’37 Chevy. Judith Kingma, in a rhythmic state of mind, wills her music talent to Marilyn Raster. No hard feel- ings? Joan Scott, in a blissful state of mind, wills her artistic talent and her giggle to Marilyn Schoon- veld. Looks like you will have a cheerfid clas s. Marvin Terpstra, in an ambitious state of mind, wills his ability to be calm and reserved at all times to Bob Peterson. Carol Thornton, in a joyful state of mind, wills her ability to catch a man to Mary Bacon. Drop around sometime and she’ll tell you just how to proceed. Ruth Terborg, in a sentimental state of mind, wills all her old beat up accordian music to Marian Bels- tra. Will we have another Contino? Ed Totten, in a humorous state of mind, wills all his corny jokes to John Tomczak. Ed White, in a drowsy state of mind, wills his ability to sleep in class to John DeKock. Pleasant dreams, John. Norman Wright, in a happy state of mind, wills his cheerful personality to Frank Gross. Do you think he needs it? To the Juniors, as a whole, we will all our old Christmas decorations. To the Sophomores, we will our quiet study halls, poor teachers. To the Freshmen, we will the fun we had ini- tiating you into high school. May you have as much fun in ’55. To Mr. Hission, we will a chemistry class that doesn’t break all his equipment. To Mr. Stangle, we will a bicycle so he can get from one place to another faster. To Miss Rolling, we will an art class with talent. To Miss Griffith, we will a secretary and an hour and a half shorthand class that meets everyday. To Miss Beanblossom, we will a home ec. class that can read directions. To Mr. Diettert, we will a government class that knows a few political terms. To Mr. Champion, we will a shop all furnished with the equipment needed. To Mr. Moolenaar, we will a chorus that can har- monize. To Mr. Jones, we will a basketball team that will win the Sectional.
